installing or removing Abrasive paper strips.
• To attach dry backed strips, release over-centered, heavy wire spring-clips located at both
ends of the longboard.
• Place 1/4" to 3/8" of the end of the strip under the front retaining clip then lower and secure
spring-clip in place. While removing looseness in the abrasive strip, fold rear end over end of
longboard then under rear retaining clip. Lower the rear spring-clip.
• PSA (pressure sensitive adhesive) strips may be applied directly onto the thoroughly clean and
dust free, high-density foam longboard facing pad.
• Reconnect air supply; depress the throttle to begin sanding action. Speed is regulated by
pressure applied to the trigger. Note: Always use two hands to operate the sander. One on the
